My one issue is with my wireless printer, the new router firewall seems to prevent this from working on my network. Something about UDP port 427 needs enabling, but that whole game and application sharing thing confuses me. Does anyone have any simple steps to configure this I'm not a network expert! thanks I have just set up my shiny O2 broadband router and yes speeds are better than I was getting with BT.

Though check if UPNP is enabled by following the steps below... - open web browser - type in "192.168.1.254" into address bar - when page loads click "toolbox" from the left hand menu - when page loads, click "game and application sharing" - once loaded, you will be able to see if "upnp" is enabled, and also try disabling "extended security" and then try your xlink kai. - this can be done by clicking "configure" from top right hand menu - if disabling the extended security does not resolve your issue, might be a good idea to enable it again. Hope that helps Yo waj, dude you really should need to set up port forwarding, most routers these days including o2′s dont need port forwarding set up.

Though check if UPNP is enabled by following the steps below…

- open web browser
- type in “192.168.1.254″ into address bar
- when page loads click “toolbox” from the left hand menu
- when page loads, click “game and application sharing”
- once loaded, you will be able to see if “upnp” is enabled, and also try disabling “extended security” and then try your xlink kai.
- this can be done by clicking “configure” from top right hand menu

- if disabling the extended security does not resolve your issue, might be a good idea to enable it again.

Hope that helps
